“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one’s better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.”

I need to move forward to get a job. Hence one of the simple thing I can do is answer the phone call to the stranger. I had joined the online English class to train my English speaking skill but i haven’t started the session. It is time to give my own a chance to learn something.
I am unable to move forward with letting go of my husband. I am still hanging on to the idea of us. One small step I can take is to take off my wedding rings. Even for a little bit
I need to move forward on worrying too much what others think of me. (why i have a hard time opening up to new people) I need to live for ME and ONLY ME, and its completely okay to be me even if im gonna end up embarrassing myself but its better to try and take small risks than not do anything at all.
Hi Nadia. I too need to move forward by stopping the worry about what others think of me. I bend over backwards to please others while ignoring my needs and wants. Just a few days ago I stood up for myself to a person in my field and she became angry subsequently blocking me on social media. I honestly am not close to her but I found myself wanting to apologize for everything and worrying about what she was saying about me. She wasn’t even a real friend and I lost hours worrying. This has to change. Thank you for your post Nadia, it really helped.
